Matha Pattis
A simple Matha patti can glam you up and transform your look in seconds . Since you arent the bride go for light contemporary styles  and skip the necklace for a fuss free elegant wedding look.

If you really want to make a statement and opt for a heavy traditional matha patti then skip on all other accessories including the earrings and let your head jewelry steal the spotlight. This accessory is best worn for the reception or marriage and not other pre wedding ceremonies. see how sonam kapoor sports a heavy matha patti and balances out the look with stud earrings



Kundan mang tikkas with pearls are a raging trend and for minimalist chic look you can go for crystal or zircon studded  tikkas. This jewel can be worn by guests to any wedding function like mehendi, sangeet, reception, marriage or even cocktail.



You can experiment and wear a different style tikka for different functions.  Choose from a wide variety of options which range  from rajasthani borlas , kundan tikkas , tikkas with half head chains, crystal tikkas, chand bali style over sized tikka and tikka with pearl chain.


Mang tikkas generally rest on the middle parting of the hair but these days i have spotted many women sport this jewel even with side parted hair which gives this traditional jewel a modern twist.

Head chains:
Basically the westernized contemporary version of matha patti these head chains are super hot in trend. Single, double or multiple strands of  simple chains rest on your head for a elegant and clean look.
These are best worn with indian fusion wear like a indianized gown, saree gowns or plazzos


Go for head chains in a sangeet or cocktail function of your sister or friend




Jhoomar :
Also called the passa this used to be a muslim brides accessory but not anymore. These days jhoomar is hot on trend and can be seen worn by both classes and the masses.





 Since adding a jhoomar crowds things up and makes things look over the top jhoomar ia worn by brides and not wedding guests but rules are changing rapidly and even guests can flaunt this trendy accessory by getting the styling bit right.
Skipping the tikka when wearing an extravagant jhoomar is the best way to bring in a balance but wearing both tika and jhoomar is also acceptable these days. With both jhoomar and tikka keep your make up soft and minimal and other accessories simple.
The best occasion to flaunt a jhoomar is during a sangeet or mehendi of a close relative or friend also we at blingsparkle think that a jhoomar works best with side parted hair. what do you think?
